Ubuntu – Installing gtk development environment

application-developmentgtkprogramming

Not new to Ubuntu or programming but I am new to programming in C and gtk. Have been using Quickly for the odd program. I want to play around with C and gtk.

What gtk packages do I need to install to have a working development environment with C?

Best Answer

I cheat and use the list of packages needed to build other big GTK applications instead:

sudo apt-get build-dep inkscape

Or for a more minimal starting point, go with the bare minimum and add on when you need to:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libgtk2.0-dev
